Rabbit As Indoor Pets - Rabbit Care Tips

Having a rabbit as an indoor pet can seem great for kids. This, however, isn't always what it seems. Kids can be too young and immature to handle rabbits right. Sure, bunnies are cute...but they are totally different than the way they're portrayed on cartoons.

For most rabbits, being held is not something enjoyable. When rabbits are held, some will jump and try to claw their way to the floor. This can leave your kids with many scratches. Also, your kids may not know how to properly handle rabbits and strangle or even break their very delicate bones.

Rabbits aren't like other household animals. They are very shy and cautious. Loud noise and fast movements will scare them easily. This can be disappointing for a kid that wants to play with the bunny all day. A bunny is more likely to play with someone if they're just sitting down relaxed. Also, unlike other animals, rabbits like plenty of peace and quiet time.

Choosing to own a rabbit is a big decision. They can live up to and over 10 years. During this time, kids will grow older and may not be interested in caring for it anymore. Rabbits do require constant care. Their cages need to be cleaned and they need fresh food and water constantly. Also, other caring such as grooming is also needed.

In addition to this, rabbits should also be exercised every day. Having a rabbit is a big responsibility. It is fun though. As long as you take proper care of your bunny.

Animals Facts

The male platypus can use the spur on its rear ankle to inflict a paralyzing sting, making it one of the word's few venomous mammals. This feature may help it fight other males for territory and mates during the breeding season.

Hedgehog Hibernation

To cope with the lack of food during cold winters, hedgehog will go into hibernation, lowering thier body temperature and heart and respiration rates to minimize their energy needs. Their metabolic rate can become 100 times slower and they may even stop breathing for up to 2 hours. Hibernating hedgehog live off the extra body fat accumulated in late summer, but also rouse themselves for a day or so every couple of weeks to forage and defecate.

Leaf-Eater

A Specialized stomach allows flying lemurs to digest the large amounts of leafy vegetation that make up the bulk of thier diet. Other foods include buds, flowers, fruit, and possibly tree sap.

Rather than hang in a cave or from a branch, the little Honduran tent bat is one of several fruit bats that create their own shelter. It curls a palm frond by chewing through the connection between the leaf's midrib and edges.

As China's human population has burgeoned, most of the giant panda's habitat has been destroyed. Only about 1,000 pandas remain in the wild, restricted to isolated mountain pockets of bamboo forest. Widely recognized as a symbol of conservation, the gian panda is still poached for it's skin.

Before a skunk shoots out foul-smelling musk from its anal glands, it gives an enemy fair warming, raising its tail, stamping its feet, pretending to charge, or even doing a handstand. The skunk's distinctive black and white markings also serve to warm predators that it is a meal best avoided.
